Launch MSRPs, release cycles and deals windows as of November 9, 2026.
This is a cross-brand comparison between the AMD RX 7600 (RX 7000, Entry, superseded by the AMD RX 9060) and the Intel Arc B570 (Arc Battlemage, Entry, current generation), released 19 months apart. Against the RX 7600, the Arc B570 costs $50 less at launch MSRP ($219 vs $269, 19% cheaper), has 2 GB more VRAM (10 GB vs 8 GB) and draws 18W more at rated TDP (150W vs 132W).
This GPU is no longer the current generation. It has been replaced by the AMD RX 9060.
Superseded by RX 9060
Best for: Ultra-budget 1080p gamers who find it at deep clearance discounts under $200.

Best for: Budget-conscious 1080p gamers who want maximum VRAM per dollar. Ideal for builds where a $219 entry point matters but VRAM headroom is still a priority.

One of the lowest power GPUs available. Works with any PSU.
Used units around $260 make it one of the cheapest ways into modern AMD gaming — new units are overpriced in the 2026 memory shortage.
Official FSR 4.1 ML upscaling since Adrenalin 26.6.2 (June 2026), alongside FSR 3 frame generation, extends its 1080p capabilities.
2GB more VRAM than NVIDIA's RTX 5050 ($249) and RTX 5060 ($299) — the best VRAM-per-dollar in the sub-$225 GPU market.
A full 40W lower than the B580 and 20W lower than most competing NVIDIA cards at this price. No PSU upgrade needed for most systems.
Intel's second-generation AI upscaler delivers strong image quality in supported titles, with a growing catalogue of compatible games.
Released May 25, 2023, the RX 7600 has been on the market for 3 years 5 months. It has been superseded by the AMD RX 9060, which launched Aug 6, 2025, so it's no longer a current-generation buy — new stock is clearance, and the rest of the market is second-hand.
Released Jan 16, 2025, the Arc B570 has been on the market for 21 months. We have no previous release cycle on record for this line and no successor on our radar, so there's no projected replacement date — the timing signal stays at Caution.
On timing, the Arc B570 is the only current-generation option of the two (Caution), while the RX 7600 is a clearance or used purchase.
At launch MSRP the Arc B570 is $50 cheaper than the RX 7600 ($219 vs $269, 19% less). Per gigabyte of VRAM that's $33.6 for the RX 7600 and $21.9 for the Arc B570 — the Arc B570 gives more memory for the money. Launch MSRP is only a reference point for a superseded card; its real price is whatever clearance or used stock sells for today.
RX 7600 (deals window to Dec 5, 2026, rated Caution): Black Friday 2026 — analysts do not expect memory supply to normalise before late 2027, so real clearance pricing is unlikely. Only buy if a deal lands below the $269 MSRP.
Arc B570 (deals window to Dec 5, 2026, rated Caution): Black Friday / Cyber Monday 2026 — usually the best annual GPU deals, but analysts do not expect memory supply to normalise before late 2027, so discounts are unlikely to reach the $219 MSRP. Only buy at or near MSRP.
Next on the deals calendar: for the Arc B570, New Year clearance 2027, from Jan 2, 2027 to Jan 20, 2027.
Our pick: Intel Arc B570
Our pick is the Arc B570: it's the current-generation card here, while the RX 7600 has been superseded by the AMD RX 9060, and it also costs $50 less at launch MSRP ($219 vs $269), has 2 GB more VRAM (10 GB vs 8 GB) and carries a higher editor score (7.9 vs 7.1).
Go for the RX 7600 instead if you want lower power draw: 132W vs 150W rated TDP, or if you prefer AMD's FSR3 upscaling to Intel's XeSS 2.
